If you are like many individuals, your IRA has increased in value over the years and you may have more income than you need. The IRA rollover gift is a simple and easy way to provide for ECHO while not increasing your taxable income.

If you are over age 70½, you may annually gift any amount up to $100,000 of your IRA to charity. It's very easy to make the gift by directing your custodian to transfer a portion of your required minimum distribution directly to charity. ECHO receives a nice gift and you avoid any additional tax.
